    I'm dead serious -you'll be circulating a lot of fuel and things will get hot in the tank.

    tassuperkart Its a lie I tell you!

    What he ^ said. However, depends if a circuit car or a drag car.
    Im predicting this thing is a straight-line only car (imagine a Nos shot exiting P.I. or E.C. at T1.....instant and usually a most painful endo, so fuel cooling, altho very desireable, is prolly not essential due to short run times!

    yeah I like KISS it has worked for me so far.

    This fuel cooler can be filled with a dry ice/meth slushy for super cool fuel

    but thats weight and complexity. I can always monitor the fuel temps via ecu and see how hot it gets.

    question: how hot would be too hot? thinking optimal 400m here?

    keeping it up to 40 is ideal but no more than 50 .
    I monitor mine by gauge.

    how big are those fuel coolers ?

    they have a few different sizes. they arent cheap but these are high quality and dont leak like the moroso ones (apparently). I reckon they would be ok for a time attack car as you could just keep refilling the dry ice compononet when you come into the pits.
